Standard My son did not want tutoring initially but was very pleased once it started. Time was taken to find a tutor who matched our needs and it has been working well motivationally and in terms of work quality.deborah r, Millswood
Year 5 student Andrea focused on mastering long division and rounding numbers to the nearest place value using her school homework.
Year 10 Ella worked through challenging algebraic expressions and practiced identifying key points and features of polynomial graphs, using assignment questions for deeper understanding.
Meanwhile, in Year 11, Molly explored calculus concepts by finding sign diagrams and analysing the shape of graphs using derivatives, applying these skills to real examples from classwork.
Did not do fractions problems assigned over the school holidays, which meant essential skills were unpracticed and confidence lagged during lessons.
Messy working—particularly omitting units or unclear formatting—led to lost marks in geometry.
Forgot to write equal signs to show relationship in equations, causing confusion when checking solutions.
A primary student hesitated to attempt mental calculations without a calculator, leading to slow progress on times tables and undermining self-assurance during class quizzes.
One Millswood tutor noticed Molly taking real initiative by bringing in specific class questions she'd struggled with—she now works through tougher problems independently after just a bit of prompting, which wasn't the case earlier in the term.
Another recent session saw Erin, also in high school, shift from hesitating over source analysis to confidently identifying reliable references for her research report; she's even ready to hand in her draft ahead of schedule.
Meanwhile, a Year 5 student surprised their tutor by tackling long division steps solo for the first time, only asking for help when truly stuck.
